ubiquiti also has a very poor recent track record of EOLing products and making it near impossible to use - earlier generation security cameras and unifi wireless APs, for instance, which still work perfectly fine. But now it's an incredible hassle to find the linux packages to install on your own hardware to host the controller for them.
you know that something has gone wrong with a tech company when the founder's ego has inflated to the size that they think the best thing in life to do is buy a professional basketball team.
Interesting, I have 3 edgerouters and UniFi AP which have been trucking for the better part of a decade. Can you point me in the direction for sources for their EoL issues?
I am about to double down on Ubiquiti as the networking backbone and security cameras for my new house, so I have a special interest in this currently.
Look up Unifi Video if you want to see what became of it. AFAIK you can still self-host it just fine but their NAT-punching/forwarding service was killed.
they also had (maybe still have) such poor internal controls that they got spearphished to the tune of $46 million in wire transfer: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=ubiquit...
